Start lower down the hill then.

That's not good enough? I figure I pick a spot and compare the speeds I reach by the time I get there. That's too inaccurate?

Yes that is too inaccurate. It involves too much human interaction and relies on your ability to time it right.
If want the test to prove conclusively that you can go farther on the same amount of energy then you want to measure it directly by going farther on the same amount of energy.
